With a month until their preseason camp begins, El Paso Locomotive FC is just two players short of a side.

Spanish midfielder Javier Monsalvez Carazo, who goes by the name Yuma, became the ninth player for the inaugural USL team and the third who played for coach Mark Lowry for the Jacksonville Armada.

“I am incredibly happy to be bringing Yuma here to El Paso," Lowry said. "He is a player of tremendous ability and character. Not only does he possess the intelligence and technical ability to control the game from the middle, but arguably his greatest characteristic is his tenacity and desire to win.

"He is a ferocious competitor, a leader on the field and I know he will feel at home here in the El Paso community. I want to thank Jacksonville Armada for helping with this process, and I cannot wait to reunite with Yuma in January."

The 33-year-old came to America in 2016 to play for Rayo OKC of the North American Soccer League, he played for Puerto Rico FC in 2017 and the Armada last year. The NASL, along with the USL a second-tier league behind Major League Soccer, suspended operations last year.
